Tethered and Toothless

beyond these shores people live in destruction they scramble from day to day their existence is created by the the ways and means of war they are divided by doctrine and each alliance exploits their well being beyond these shores the tyranny of might causes men and women to take shelter only to have to fled to better places which existence is right that they both war against the people what nation has no people what country is unsovereign than by which truths do we stand to bring voice to those who have no voice and those that rise to speak don't know what to say stay out of the fight and observe the brawl til one day we take want we've learned and uses it against those we oppose and then find reason to make opposition of those we had chose to support beyond these boundaries the people have fled to make villain of those that they flee from we tire of these truths and word our frustration to support actions that causes further division the nights of springs, summers, falls and winters have come and each season the harvest have been stored ripened only to feed those who have created division and untruth the trust of sovereign people has been battered and bruised the clasps that fasten are buckling and the tension of unresolved troubles has made poverty stricken men angry: who's frustrations solve differences that might destroy's and men stand before these battles to witness the destruction of men, woman, children and areas of their once concern. made mad persons. those who can flee, on distant shore they speak there angre the will never see those loved ones and those enemies that they had wished to tell those truths which would resolve such troublings. on distant shores they war. in our country they find comfort to watch the destruction of those who are more kin to them. the faces of caring people might make smiles: but only relief from those tensions of frustrated helplessness the not being able to stop which is troubling.
